Actually - I no longer work or have a laptop so it isn't relevant - when I did I had a laptop where you could take out the removable CD drive and add a second battery (I had two spare so I could work and drink all the way to the USA)
The problem was the available width of the hinge down tray when you want to have a glass of wine and a bottle on there as well.

I have used Dell laptops (Inspiron and Vostro) without any problems many times for myself and have recommended to friends, who bought them.
The laptops offered by http://www.meshcomputers.com/ look good.

I used to use a clip on roller ball on my laptop but unfortunately they stopped making them

I had one of those too, it was on a Toshiba which also had a B&W screen. I don't recall the model but it was in the early nineties.
I bought my wife a Lenevo laptop with a nice spec from Makro for not a lot of money. They have some great offers on laptops.
